Too Big To Know



Taken from underneath the Sibelius sculpture in Helsinki
"We thought that knowledge was scarce when

If you are in any way involved in the creation, conveyance, curation or management of knowledge, then you must read David Weinberger's Too Big Too Know. Weinberger examines how knowledge has been "bound" for millennia in scrolls, manuscripts, books, libraries and even in footnotes. Bound physically, socially, and politically too. Each technological innovation has scaled knowledge's reach and has ultimately changed existing power structures around it. Today, we are riding a tectonic shift--knowledge is now a "network of connections" bringing with it the challenges that we have never encountered before now. So what's new here that we didn't already know?
